Electrical Gremlins
Hello All, OK , lets start at the beginning , 2004 Lariat , Got punched hard enough to fold the drivers side fender and support back to the firewall ,( This is not a problem as I have been in the repair biz for over 30 yrs ) The anti lock assembly was destroyed to the point of total replacement and wiring harness to it was severed , I got a donor vehicle and replaced everything and it is back on the road . Now starts the "Gremlins" , When I hook up the battery there is a constant draw on it which drains a fully charged battery overnight . With everything off , no key in the ignition , the amp gauge reads like it is charging at 14.5 amps , I disconnected the alternator and it still shows a draw . It runs fine and goes down the road with no issues , sometimes it will not start , the radio comes on at random ( no key in the ignition ) The idiot lights are on at this time and the heater motor will kick on also . The part is that it will do this stuff and more at random . What could have happened that is causing these issues , ( besides the accident )......... Thanks for any help , Mark
